00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:03.510
Was it really a hit and run
that left Kelly Oubre Jr.

2
00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:07.320
With a broken rib and lacerations
or was it something else?

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.230
Something that could
get his contract voided.

4
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:15.720
The Philadelphia 76ers guard was injured
over the weekend in a reported hit and

5
00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:20.310
run crash and police are still searching
for clues in connection with it. Oubre,

6
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:21.600
who's 27 years old,

7
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.950
told investigators that he was walking
in Center City on Saturday night and that

8
00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:30.810
he was clipped by the side mirror
of a silver car around 7:20 PM But

9
00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:32.400
according to Philadelphia police,

10
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:36.210
there is zero evidence that
accident took place so far.

11
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:38.820
All the police have to go on is re's word.

12
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:44.010
The story has taken a questionable
turn now as re's apartment door camera

13
00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.870
footage was obtained by TMZ.

14
00:00:46.230 --> 00:00:49.800
In the video you can see him
rolling in his bicycle and saying,

15
00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:51.180
I was hit by a car.

16
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:05.310
This is helpful for ure as police
have gone even further saying that the

17
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:09.660
security footage from the spot where
he said he got hit has no accidents

18
00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:10.493
occurring in it.

19
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.800
I wouldn't be surprised to find out
that Oubre leaked through the door came

20
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:15.570
footage because of accusations.

21
00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:19.770
He fabricated the story to
avoid his contract being voided.

22
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:22.860
How or why would his
contract be voided? Well,

23
00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:27.420
most athlete contracts have language
that restricts certain activities.

24
00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:28.793
For example,

25
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:34.200
the Bills and running back Nyheim Hines
are in a dispute right now over how

26
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.880
much he should be paid this season.

27
00:01:36.210 --> 00:01:40.140
After he was injured on a stationary
jet ski this summer and in

28
00:01:40.150 --> 00:01:43.500
2007 the Lakers find Vladimir Radmonvic

29
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:48.270
$500,000 for lying about an
injury caused by snowboarding,

30
00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:51.870
which was a dangerous activity
in violation of his contract.

31
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:56.610
Oubre allegedly owns a BMX bike.
I don't know how true that is,

32
00:01:56.610 --> 00:02:00.660
and there are rumors he injured himself
engaging in a dangerous activity,

33
00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:02.370
perhaps BM X-ing.

34
00:02:03.090 --> 00:02:07.020
All I can say is when you type
in 'Kelly Oubre BMX' on YouTube,

35
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:12.210
some pretty suss results come up like
an entire video of him discussing his

36
00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:13.560
love for BMX riding.

37
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:16.110
I've always had a bike, I've
always had a skateboard.

38
00:02:16.290 --> 00:02:21.180
I've always been a rocket power kid who
just loves to do, I guess, NAR stuff.

39
00:02:22.350 --> 00:02:25.500
TMZ Sports video has him
rolling a bicycle in,

40
00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:28.440
but the article says he was
walking when he was hit,

41
00:02:28.830 --> 00:02:32.250
so was he riding a
bicycle or was he walking?

42
00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:37.290
The situation is really weird and I
suspect we don't know the whole truth yet,

43
00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:41.490
but I bet we will soon. Thanks for
watching and sticking with Deadspin
